Trump denied reporting from the Washington Post that portrayed him as fuming over the latest news: "I'm actually not angry at anybody," he said. Trump said he was encouraged by "fantastic" polling data from the RNC, which he said showed him flying high in swing states (public approval polling shows Trump hitting new lows).

Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Peter Baker write that Trump listed "what he saw as his biggest accomplishments, including a focus on deregulation and low unemployment rates," and described his work ethic:

"I'm in the office early and leave late; it's very smooth. Honestly, I'm really enjoying it."
